I don't see how you can say they blew the pick unless you tell us who was picked after him that you think is better. Opinions anyone?

I do think Jimmy Butler would have been a better pick (along with Parsons if we could have figured out how to get him minutes with kawhi). Butler is a defensive monster. But that is hindsight.

Isaiah Thomas is 5 foot 9 Point guard passed on by the entire league playing for one of the Worst teams in the league producing inflated numbers. The Kings had even traded for Jimmer Ferdette in the lottery in 2011.

The Spurs do not simply fit apples to apples. The Spurs have holistic view of their team, which is why certain players flourish and others do not. Look at some of the players who were amazing in SA then left to become Duds.
